@urig There is a lot missing there. I suppose they didn't want to write a long essay.
And it's one thing to talk about ''should'', but having executive management that has some understanding of the need for the ''should'' is a whole 'nother story.

@govinda_hari @urig I agree it's not an exhaustive checklist.

@rperezrosario @govinda_hari it's fine. For me ERM is a basic skill that come before quite a few of the techniques mentioned, but opinions may differ I suppose.

@urig @govinda_hari I agree. ERM just comes as second nature after a while.
